Every Legend of Zelda Game on the Nintendo Switch in 2025

The Legend of Zelda, a cornerstone of gaming history, has captivated players since its 1986 debut on the Nintendo Entertainment System. Chronicling the valiant struggles of Link and Princess Zelda against the nefarious Ganon, the series has consistently enthralled audiences. The Nintendo Switch, however, has propelled Zelda to new heights, transforming it into one of Nintendo's top-selling franchises, thanks to the monumental successes of *Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom*. With the release of *Echoes of Wisdom* near the end of the original Switch's lifespan, it's the perfect time to reflect on the Zelda titles available on the console. While no future Zelda games are officially confirmed, Nintendo's announcement of the Switch 2 strongly suggests more Hyrule adventures are on the horizon.
